A background subtraction based tracking algorithm using OpenCV. It depends on OpenCv (http://opencv.org/) and Boost libraries (http://www.boost.org/).
In order to run the tracker, use the following command:
BlobTracker.exe -d config.cfg
./BlobTracker -d config.cfg
config.cfg has all the configurations for running the tracker, here are the few things that you would have to change.
* "Input_Video_Directory" ---> where the video files are stored
* "Input_Video_Name_List" ---> name of the video files (comma separated)
* "Input_Camera_ID_List" ---> camera id for internal usage( use sequential numbers)
* "Start_Frame_Index" ---> starting frame for the video to be processed (0 to start from the beginning)
* "Number_Of_Frames" ---> number of frames to be tracked (-1 for the entire video)
* "OutPut_Video_Directory" ---> where the output files will be stored (also the track outputs in text format)
* "Log_File_Name" ---> name of the log file (log file will be generated in the output folder)
* "Display_Intermediate_Result" ---> whether to display intermediate output on the dialog box or not
* "Save_Intermediate_Result" ---> whether to save the intermediate results on the output directory
* "Down_Scale_Image" ---> whether to downscale the image by a factor or 2 or not (use it for speed)
* "FG_Train_Frames" ---> number of frames used for training the background model
Output videos will be created in the specified output folder ("OutPut_Video_Directory").
* input_file_name.extension_BT.avi contains the learned background video
* input_file_name.extension_FG.avi shows the foreground region
* input_file_name.extension_record.txt stores the tracking results in the following format:[ frameNumber, xCentroid, yCentroid, width, height, objectId, timestamp(seconds) ]
